There is a kind of diference in acting and doing. To act is to create, by a inovation or a invention. But to do something is just construct some idea in a consciouness or some object in reality.
I believe that is the key of Epictetus problem of things that we control and things we do not control. To act is to control, and we only predict something only if we act in some situation. To predict is to control, and to control is to act.
Example: construct a house and inovating in some house structure or form, aesthetical form. And inventing a computer, inovating in some hd problem, or part, and to construct a computer.
To act, according Mario Ferreira dos Santos, a brazilian philosopher, includes always a element of novelty.
The symbol of scintillia animae, soul "spark" in Jung psychology (Mysterium Coniunctionis) is very interesting and we can understand better the true reality of acting in the world, to generate new things and better things.

I thought "to do" is to create something while "to act" is to making a concept.
As R. Rorty addressed to Kant a thought that the last one considered the concepts as a formal constructions which may represent a priori necessary... things (concepts). Intuitions are what is to be casual and not necessary constructions. The last ones might help us and guide us without our full support.
I wonder if and what type of correlation among acts & do's, and concepts & intuitions?
